SpeedFlex27 Posted February 21 Report Posted February 21 Great research. Thanks for that. Of course, we're all waiting to see what the Jets do in the playoffs. Will they have a deep run or be blown out in 5 or 6 games in the first round?

Will they have a deep run or be blown out in 5 or 6 games in the first round? Depends on the match-up. Despite their flaws, Jets have had some brutal first round pairings the last few years (St. Louis who were on a heater and won the Cup, Edmonton who we swept, Vegas who won the Cup, and our reward for a 110 point season last year was playing the 106 point Avs who were two years removed from winning the Cup). No one seems to factor that in when considering our ouster each year. Hopefully we see Vancouver, Calgary, or even Minnesota in round one this year. BomberBall., SpeedFlex27 and Goalie 2 1
captaincanuck12 Posted February 21 Report Posted February 21 Wow.. nice work @FrostyWinnipeg. although I will agree with the thread title. Way to Early. Jets need to win and win consistently. We can revisit this topic after Mid March

bearpants Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 I was actually thinking about this recently during the break and I wondered what a realistic magic number would be to win the west (don't care about the presidents trophy... in fact, I'd rather the Jets not win that)... I kind of settled on 16 wins... though 2 extra points would be useful... so something like 16-8-2 in the final 26... With that record, I believe Dallas, Edm, or Vegas would have to go 22-5 or 22-4 (depending on how many games they have left) to knock the Jets out of first... while it's not impossible for team to get super hot... it seems unlikely....

So what your saying is there’s gonna be atleast 1 new banner at Canada life next season.

Secure that then fingers crossed for the Wild. Would love to stomp them. Noeller 1

Being a lifetime Jet fan with many moments of highs yet many moments of heart break is just make the damn playoffs then focus on the next step.

Agreed, that why I put multiple steps in. But winning the division is a big advantage, so that’s the goal I am interested in HardCoreBlue 1
